HPBAC Board sets priorities for 2009

The HPBAC Board of Directors met on November 25th in Toronto to discuss Strategic Planning and to review HPBAC's activities over the past year.

The Board has agreed to focus on the following in 2009:

• Review the Chapter Agreement and funding formula to provide funding where it is needed most and to provide more support to chapters, particularly with Government Affairs and media
• Provide the tools for chapters and members to respond to issues in their areas
• Take a more proactive approach with Government Affairs and be able to react more quickly when an issue arises
• Raise our profile to become the 'go to' people for media and government officials in Canada
• Work with HPBA to establish a better plan for funding HPBAC on an ongoing basis

Some of this work will be completed with the help of HPBAC's Communications, Membership and Government Affairs committees. If you are interested in joining any of these committees please contact Laura Litchfield at hpbac@bellnet.ca.
